OVERVIEW

With all the news and stories about hackers, botnets and breaches involving personal information, it is easy for the security message to sound over-used and tired. It is easy for one to say, “It won’t happen here.”

Studies and surveys repeatedly show that the human factor (what employees do or don’t do) is the biggest threat to

information systems and assets. People, just like computers, store, process and transfer highly valuable information.

Yet people remain highly insecure due to lack of education on this. As a result, cyber attackers are actively targeting the human element. Until you address the human issue, technology alone cannot secure your organization. Humans are the weakest link in the IT security chain clubbed with technology and process vulnerabilities are making it worse.
